Perfect for work holiday party
I wore this to a law firm holiday party. I was a little worried about the slit on the side, but it wasn't nearly as pronounced in real life as it appears on the model. I wore black tights just to make it a little more conservative. I wore the 40 instead of the 38 (I'm usually a 2) and it was tight at first but really loosened up as the night went on. I didn't have any problems with the collar doing funky things. Even though the dress is snug, it's really comfortable and forgiving. Would rent again.
I Object Dress

Usual Size: 2
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 130lbs

Classy bling!
I rented this to wear to a law firm holiday party with a high-nicked Moschino dress. Stayed in place all night, and really dressed up the outfit. Would definitely rent again -- was not heavy or otherwise overwhelming.

Was broken :-(
Necklace came to me broken in the center -- had to use a pair of pliers to close the ring that holds each piece together and then it was fine. I rented this to wear with the Yumi Kim pastel paradise maxi, but it didn't quite match so I had to borrow a necklace from a friend.

Perfect for black tie wedding
I had to go up a size (usually a 2) in this dress. I am 5'5" and it was short -- I wore my lowest heels (2") but I wish I had appropriate flats because it would have looked better. Looks great in photos with flash. The front is low cut but I wore a regular VS black bra and it wasn't visible. There were a few jewels missing from the dress and some loose strings here and there, but overall the dress was in pretty good shape.
Midnight Sequin Stars Gown
Nicole Miller
Size Worn: 4R
Usual Size: 2
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 130lbs
Bust: 34C
Perfect match with Badgley Mischka Utopia Maxi
Comfortable and lightweight -- didn't weigh on my ear, was delicate but just enough bling to not overpower the floral in the dress. Will rent again.
Teardrop Pearl Earrings

Usual Size: 2
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 130lbs
Bust: 34C
Beautiful neckline, tea-length
Didn't end up wearing this dress because I preferred the maxi length dress for the wedding I was attending. The dress has a nice neckline, and you can wear a regular bra (major plus in my book!). Wasn't crazy about the length -- I am uncomfortable in short dresses, but the tea - length made my legs look short. Would look best with taller heels or wedges. I liked the pockets, and the color was beautiful. Would be perfect for a bridal shower or baby shower.
Cindy Midi Dress

Size Worn: 2
Usual Size: 2
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 130lbs
Bust: 34C
Pretty and lightweight
Didn't end up wearing this dress because I wanted to be slightly more formal, but wanted to review. The straps are adjustable, so if you wanted to slightly adjust the length you could. The dress was a little worn around the neckline and hemline, but it was really comfortable; if I had the right accessories (the blue necklace on the model) it would have dressed it up more. Also -- I'm 5'5" and the dress was a little too short to wear heels, even after adjusting the straps, so I would have worn a pair of flat sandals.
Tropical Sunset Maxi
YUMI KIM
Size Worn: SR
Usual Size: 2
Height: 5' 5"

Beautiful, lightweight dress
I got tons of compliments on this dress! I wore to an outdoor wedding in New England. The dress was lightweight and fun to dance in. I'm 5'5" and I ordered the 2P so I could wear flats and it was the perfect length. I also ordered the pearl teardrop earrings, which looked nice and didn't compete with the floral dress. Would definitely rent this dress again.
Utopia Maxi
Badgley Mischka
Size Worn: 2P
Usual Size: 2

Perfect with Tracy Reese dress!
Nice length. Plenty of sparkle but not gaudy.

Bust: 34C
Recognized as Michelle Obama's dress!
Ordered both the 2 and 4 -- not much of a difference between the two but armholes were a little smaller/less revealing in the 2 so I wore that. The pockets were fun, and the length was just to my knees. I wore gold shoes to match the Nicole Miller necklace I also rented. Fabric was a little thick/heavy for a July wedding, but was fine once the sun went down. Got lots of compliments, very unique dress.
